Is it ok for the response cards to be sent back to the bride and not the parents?

It's fine for the cards to be sent back to the bride however please consider the fact that the bride will be extremely busy with all aspects of planning the wedding. It might be a good idea to delegate handling the responses to another person (such as the parents) who can (and will) be responsible for phoning the non-responders.

Yes, many couples are hosting their own weddings as opposed to the Bride's parents. I'm having response cards sent to my house because my parents house is for sale and if it sells before the wedding I don't want to worry about RSVPs being sent to the old address.

It depends. If the bride's parents are hosting the wedding and paying for it, then they should be receiving the response cards. If the bride and groom are hosting the wedding and paying for it, then it would be ok for them to receive the cards. Now, if you want....I am assuming you are the bride....congrats.....you can talk to your parents about it and see how they feel. I am sure that they would not have any problem with that....but I do not know your parents either. Just talk to them if you really want to get your response cards! Very Happy

Yes. As long as the response card gets answered, it shouldn't matter who it goes back to. If it comes back to the bride, I am sure the bride can get it to the proper person who is responsible for making sure those persons are accounted for. Besides, there are more important things to tend to than who the response card was returned to.

Etiquette wise, it should be returned to whoever is hosting the wedding (IE: Paying for it), but if the parents are paying and the bride is doing all the planning and coordinating, then the invitations should be returned to whoever is doing the final floor plan and coordinating the final guest count with the reception hall.

Of course! These days the brides do alot of the coordinating, not the parents.

It is most proper to send the invitation cards back to the person who sent the invitation to you. They are the ones keeping track of who is coming and who is not. If you respond to anyone else, then the attendance list could get all messed up.Mostly, the person sending the invitaton needs to keep track of how many people will be attending the reception so there is adequate food and drink for everyone.Have a good time at the wedding!! : )

Yes, definitely. Especially if the bride is more organized.
